Nondisp fx of neck of right talus, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the neck of the right talus bone that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is classified as open, meaning there is a wound that communicates with the fracture site, exposing the bone to the outside environment. This code is used for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the neck of the right talus. This would be appropriate for the initial surgical repair, wound debridement, or casting/splinting procedures performed during the acute phase of injury management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "open fracture" for the right talus neck.
• Verify this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury, not a follow-up or subsequent care.
• Always review operative reports and imaging studies to confirm fracture location, displacement, and open vs. closed status.
